umbrella
drops of gloom pour like a train memories of past seizes my brain some broken some tried some smiled some cried my body breaks into an itch i know the feeling ,makes me twitch i am a boy again world is free of pain in my balcony sits a sparrow i stare at her making my eyes narrow seems smaller than she is feathers dripping and apart bit by bit indicates that the rain wont last long sun will shine again into a song blooming into a symphony so yellow forcing the sky to reveal a rainbow bugs and butterflies shall flutter dancing around in a clutter boys jump out to play some with a bat some with clay i look up tying my lace storming out into a race joining the gang in a huddle making sure to jump in every puddle they sing and they shriek in voices loud and creek lightning strikes again lashes out a heavy rain clouds roar out a thunder we retreat in a mode of surrender grey spreads all around i sit with my feet wound look out through the glass this time it is going to last i close my eye
